It is hard to ‘break into’ schools and introduce programs and organizations. This is for good reasons; these are public institutions, young people are vulnerable, etc.
But I think if one gets EA orgs and other programs (like Charity Elections) going in high schools it could have huge impact. It could...
Scale easily
Be very influential… these are seen as the ‘formative years’
Potentially bring in communities/parents/teachers
Be ‘trackable/measurable’ to university level (can survey college students about whether they were part of it in HS)
